While Bossy was awesome in his 10 years, you cant compare him to Gretzky who had 637 goals in his first 10 years in the NHL compared to Bossy's 573, plus Gretzky had 1200 assists to 553 for bossy. Gretzky had 711 more points than Bossy and more assists than Bossy had POINTS. I'm not knocking Bossy, he is one of the greatest snipers ever and very underrated historically, but you can't put him in The Great One's class.
Sure he would be thats why comparing their first 9 seasons gretzky had 48 more goals and 550 more assists and averaged nearl a point more per game..bossy never matched gretzky peak and wouldnt match his non peak either. Bossy also has 9 less mvp and 10 less art ross trophies than gretzky when somewhen else had every record and that much hardware in ANY sport let me know..
Ok bossy was great but to say he would have had 900 is crazy look at gretzkys first 10 years he blows bossy away in goals, this was his prime and he retired at the end of it thats all. More impressive for bossy is the three consecutive 17 goal playoffs. Something no one else did.
